Built a MATLAB pipeline to clean, normalize, cluster, and classify aircraft engine types from raw performance data using weighted K-means and multi-dimensional analysis.
Designed, analyzed, and fabricated a modular desktop wind tunnel in SolidWorks. I iterated the nozzle, diffuser, and test-section geometry through 80+ hours of CAD to support flow visualization and lift experiments.
A study of aircraft performance metrics including thrust-to-weight ratio, lift coefficient, and fuel efficiency across different flight regimes, with a focus on commercial aircraft design tradeoffs.
A paper on aircraft designs and technologies used to reduce sonic boom intensity, with a focus on what would need to improve for commercial supersonic travel to be more practical.
A characterization of exoplanet TOI-3819b, including orbital parameters, atmospheric composition analysis, and potential habitability factors using TESS observations and ground-based follow-up data.
A research paper on how sudden income shocks affect household financial stability, consumption patterns, and long-term economic outcomes, including policy ideas for improving resilience.
An analysis of development strategies for low-income communities, focused on sustainable growth, job creation, and wealth-building opportunities. The paper includes case studies and an implementation framework.
A comparison of gun ownership policies across countries and how those policies relate to public safety outcomes, while considering cultural and historical context.
A review of urban pigeon population management strategies, including effectiveness, sustainability, and ethical considerations for city planning and wildlife management.
A paper on safety improvements in nuclear energy technology and how those changes affect public perception. The research includes survey data and communication strategies for common concerns.
Individual concept design for EML2322L: converting a compressed-air engine into a variable-speed mason-jar mixer via a flat belt, two-diameter stepped shaft, adjustable bearing tensioner, 3D-printed H-Block, and twist-lock lid. Covers the architecture, material selection, fits, cost, and manufacturability. Part 2 of the 3-part air-engine mixer project.
Team concept-selection report for the air-engine mixer: defined weighted engineering objectives (cost, manufacturing time, mixing performance, pinch-point safety, part count, footprint) and scored all four members' DR1 concepts in decision matrices to choose the design to build. Part 3 of the 4-part air-engine mixer project.
Final team engineering package for the air-engine mixer: SolidWorks assembly and exploded drawings, complete BOM, dimensioned manufacturing drawings with tolerances and fits, Material Inspection Reports (MIRs), and step-by-step manufacturing process plans, enough to manufacture and inspect the product from the documentation alone. Part 3 of the 3-part air-engine mixer project.
